(54) SYSTEM FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK USING A SERVER GENERATED MANIFEST


(57) An apparatus and method for using a server to generate per-user manifest files for providing unique viewing experiences and proxy modules local to video players receiving the manifest files for measuring video playback events with frame accuracy is disclosed. In one aspect, a server may be used to generate a manifest file for directing a video player to play requested video content in a video stream with advertising or other alternative content which may be desired. A proxy module local to the video player may parse the video stream to inject triggers at frame accurate locations which may be desired for measuring, such as at a precise frame in which the alternative content starts, stops, and/or reaches a midpoint with respect to the requested video content.
